Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.7.8

Hello  I have an outdoor  wireless security camera connected to the  guest network of the Deco. When it connects to the nearest deco which is literally 1 meter away all is fine. However sometimes the camera connnects to the main deco which is 5 meters away and on a different floor , the connection is erratic ad the picture stutters.

I notice on  other devices there is an option to connect to a preferred deco but this option is not available for the camera. Why is this , can anything be  done to force it to use the nearest deco, cheers
